Electricity And Its Type
Electricity And Its Type
Electricity is the branch of physics in which we study electric charges, at rest (electrostatics or static electricity) and in motion (current electricity). Electricity is one of the most important form of energy. It is produced because of charges. The matter is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. Normally, a body has equal number of protons and electrons, and is therefore, electrically neutral. However, in certain situations, the balance of charges in a body is disturbed. For example, when a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, some electrons get transferred from the glass rod to the silk. The silk cloth, which gains electrons, becomes negatively charged. And the glass rod, which is left with more protons than electrons, becomes positively charged.
Charged particles or objects can exert forces on each other. While like (similar) charges repel each other, unlike charges attract. Another important thing about charged particles is that they can flow, i.e., they can move in a particular direction. This flow of charged particles is called an electric current. There are two main types of electricity,
Electricity is the branch of physics in which we study electric charges, at rest (electrostatics or static electricity) and in motion (current electricity). An electric signal in a conductor travels at a speed of light i vaccum i.e.,
Static Electricity:
It is generated by rubbing two or more objects causing to build up of charges on an object. These charges do not flow continuously.The electricity produced is a property of charges at rest, and hence is called static electricity.
Current Electricity:
It is generated by the flow of electrical charge through a conductor across an electrical field. The electricity produced is because of an ordered motion of charged particles, and hence is called current electricity. Electric current is the continuous flow of electric charges (electrons) through a material. It means the flow of electric current in an electric circuit.
Direction of Electric Current:
Electric current flows in a particular direction. In an electric circuit, the electric current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the electric cell.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Ayan Ghosh
8thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
Eshan Arora
8thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thBeing a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Prisha Gupta
8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
Archit Segal
7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
